Chantelle Houghton showed off her incredible weight loss in a plunging patterned swimsuit as she enjoyed a yoga class in Tenerife on Monday.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner, 41, who has lost an impressive five stone, looked amazing in the daring purple one-piece while exercising in the sunshine.
Chantelle was spotted stretching on a towel in a green space before going into the bird dog pose.
Leaving her long dark tresses loose, she placed a pair of sunglasses on top of her head while working out on holiday.
Earlier this year, Chantelle admitted that she is 'p***ed off' that people have accused her of taking Ozempic after her impressive five stone weight loss.
The TV personality insisted she had 'never taken' the drug and instead put 'blood, sweat, and tears' into dropping the pounds.
Chantelle first embarked on her weight loss transformation after reaching 13 stone following her 2021 split from ex-fiancé Michael Strutt and was relentlessly trolled for her weight.
The TV personality used the negative comments as motivation and embarked on her weight loss journey that saw her drop an impressive five stone without stepping into a gym.
Chantelle committed herself to a strict diet, avoiding processed foods and focusing on healthy eating but has since been accused of relying on weight loss drug Ozempic.
She told The Sun: 'There was an article online not long ago, and the comments section was full of people saying, 'Ozempic, Ozempic. But I've never taken it. If I had, I'd happily admit it – I'm an open book.
'But I worked hard to lose that weight through blood, sweat, and tears, and it really p**sed me off that people dismissed my effort. I've had to learn to have thick skin and do what's best for me, but the comments did hurt.'
Chantelle said she would never take the drug but warned people if they do turn to Ozempic to make sure it is 'from a legitimate source'.
She continued: 'I personally wouldn't take it – things like that scare me – but I can understand why some people do. If you're going to use it, make sure it's from a legitimate source and not something dodgy. It's your body, and you have to do what feels right for you.'
Previously Chanelle also said she had cut out alcohol from her diet because of the high sugar content as she gave an insight into her lifestyle overhaul.
It comes as Chantelle has ruled out ever having cosmetic surgery again - despite being tempted after she gained three and a half stone during lockdown.
She last went under the knife in 2016 when she had her breast implants removed, saying the original surgery was her 'biggest regret'.
She previously told The Sun: 'When I had my breast implants removed completely, I knew that was my very last cosmetic surgery. I made a promise to myself I'd only go under the knife again for medical reasons.'
In a recent interview with New magazine, Chantelle lifted the lid on her dating life and shared her dismay that 'only old men' are interested in her.
She said: 'I'm open to meeting somebody. I'm not closed off from it, but I certainly haven't met anyone that I'd want to progress things with.
'I don't date, I'm not on any dating apps. If it's going to happen, it will happen naturally. But I've spent so much time on my own that I'm alright.
'I don't need someone to feel whole. I'm not trying to find my happiness in somebody else. I am happy on my own; if I meet someone, they're just going to add to that happiness.
'Don't get me wrong, I've had a few offers, but I've politely declined. Most of them are really old as well.'
She said: 'But I worked hard to lose that weight through blood, sweat, and tears, and it really p**sed me off that people dismissed my effort'
Chantelle shares her daughter Dolly, 12, with her ex-fiancé Alex, but their relationship broke down after claims he had been unfaithful in 2011.
Alex and Chantelle have been far from amicable since their split, but have since moved on with their lives as Alex went on to have children with partner Nikki Manashe.
Chantelle went on to get engaged to Michael Strut but the couple went their separate ways in 2021.
She revealed in March that she's been celibate for the last two years following a string of disastrous relationships.
The beauty said she has 'given up' looking for love due to the lack of 'gentlemen' in the world.
The mother-of-one told The Sun: 'It's been about two years now and without sex I feel empowered, independent and free'.
'Chivalry appears to be dead and I'd much rather go through the rest of my life single than settle for someone who makes me miserable'.
Back in 2006, Chantelle found love with Ordinary Boys singer Preston after meeting on Big Brother and admitted she was given almost £1million for their wedding interview.
Since their split a year later, Chantelle has had a string of other high-profile relationships.
